Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 5. In cutting of stones, &c.] Every thing that concerned the lapidary's, jeweller's, and carver's art.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - The Israelites, who had been masons and bricklayers in Egypt, were no qualified for curious workmanship; but the Spirit who gave the apostle utterance in divers tongues, miraculously gave Bezaleel and Aholiab the skill that was wanting. The honour which comes from God, is alway attended with a work to be done; to be employed for God is high honour Those whom God calls to any service, he will find or make fit for it The Lord gives different gifts to different persons; let each mind his proper work, diligently remembering that whatever wisdom any on possesses, the Lord put it in the heart, to do his commandments.
